I have heard from Johan that the SSDF has contacted him directly. There is a
POSSIBILITY that The King will be tested with non-default settings (possibly
those by Kurt Utzinger), and possibly even OUTSIDE the CM GUI with a non-CM
opening book, so that it can be tested automatically.

This is all conjecture at this point, of course.....
